SEWERS.
During our last years service the call for
sewers have been very numerous and much
has been accomplished in this direction.
nearly thirty. five hundred feet of permanent
and substantial sewer has been laid in those
parts of the city most needing it and as re-
sult many unhealthy nuisances have been
abated. The policy adopted in 1883 OF ask
ing the abutters on these public sewers 10
contribute a part of the expense of their
building has been continued with much sue
cess the past year and Sl129 has been received
from private individuals, and the city mas
expended for this purpose $2296.3e. Wmie
YOU will doubtless be asked to continue TINS
work quite extensively this year, l oeieve
the system as at present laid out, with posi-
bly some small additions, will answer tne
purpose for some years to come, II It snouio

Harding.

Independent: The Harding case is be-
coming notorious. The many efforts thai
his attorneys have made to save his neck
are we'll known throughout the Territory
and yesterday another chapter in his his
tory was recorded. Mr. j. H. Duffy, OF
the firm of Campbell & Duffy, Of Butte,
who have defended him since bis lncarcer-
alton, arrived yesterday from the Silver
City and made a requisition upon Gov.
Leslie for an additional reprieve for the
criminal, the original of which expires on
the 25th inst. The grounds now present
ed for further exercise of executive elem
ency are that it is the desire of the attor-
neys to apply to the Supreme Court Of the
United States for writ of habeas corpus
and certiorari. The former respite was
granted for the purpose of appealing to
the aforesaid Supreme Court, but discov-
ering that appeal to that tribunal would
not stand, the latter method has been
adopted. Upon this showing, Gov, Leslie
yesterday granted the further desired re-
spite until Friday, March 25th, pending
which time the necessary documents must
he prepared and forwarded to Washing
ton. Mr.. Duffy left last evening for Dill
Ion, having in his charge the necessary
documents signed by the executive that
grants the offender new lease on life.
Upon the counsellor's return to Butte the
requisite legal papers will be made out
and forwarded to the Capital, the fling of
which in that court will plove stay to
he further execution of justice until the
case is finally determined by the court in
question. In the meanwhile, Harding
anguishes in jail at Dillon, and indica-
ions are such that he will live to cele- |
orate the anniversary of the Declaration
If American Independence.

Park Notes.

Pete Nelson started this morning t.
make the rounds of the park and to re-
pair the telephone wire.
Hofa and Tansey, who are following in
the footsteps of Haynes, have not been
heard from since Nelson met them al
Schwatka's old camp on Indian creek, on
his way down.
Charles Stuart with party of ladies
on their way to Gardiner found a deer
and its young calf near the boiling iron
bridge. The mother started off with its
infant in close pursuit; she jumped over
coolie at a single bound, but her calf
fell in in the attempt to follow and could
not possibly get out. Charlie went into
the deep fosse and, taking 1t in his arms,
lifted it out. He stroked it like kitten,
while the grateful dam seemed to recog
nlze them as friends and walked leisurely
away with its restored babe keeping close
at her heels.
Winter still keeps his grip below the
zeros, but it is hoped he will march for
good when March dissolves Congress and
the snow adjourns about the same time.

Fatal Earthquake.

At Nice, Italy, at o'clock Wednesday
evening two shocks of earthquake were
felt. Houses were rocked, walls cracked
and in srme cases frail buildings were
thrown to the ground. People rushed
from their houses and fell upon their
knees in the streets praying for deliver
ance from sudden death. Many persons
were injured by falling debris. Two
sharp shocks were felt at Corsica. and Sc
veral persons we're killed at Mentone,
where st. Michaels church and the post
office were wrecked. The earthquake
devastated the whole of the Italian Riviera
at Noli, on the Gulf Of Genoa, and not
far from Savona. Several houses fell and
forty-five persons were killed and thirty
injured at Onegli, also at the Gulf Of
Genoa. At Dianoarino, near Onegli,
scores of people we're killed and hundreds
injured. Fully one-third of the town is
destroyed. A second and severer shock
occurred in Genoa, Pavia, Lucia, Cuco,
Albisola, Reho, Maurizlo, Oneglia and
Nolin. At Savona eight persons were
killed and fifteen others injured. I'm
mense damage was done to property. At
Genoa the shock was very violent. The
Ducal palace and many houses were seri-
ously damaged. There was an immense
crowd at the Carlo Felice theatre to wit
ness the gala performance who expeuenc-
ed the greatest alarm when the shock
came. At Turin churches suffered severe

many houses fell, killing many. Further
details from Riviera increase the disaster.
At Cervo, near Diano Marina, 800 persons
were killed by being buried in the ruins

A Prospective Railroad.

1t is an assured fact that the
Chicago 4 Northwestern will
build to Cooke City this summer, and
White sulphur Springs being next most
inviting field will be the objective
point for the year following. This will
In fact, prove the only out let or rather
inlet to the prosperous and promising
trade of Central Montana, and as Mea-
CHER county promises to become min
ing region second to none in the terri
tory, it will not be overlooked by incom-
ing Observation-Disclosures.
1t is very likely that if the above road
ever builds into Cooke, which now
seems probable, and thence to Neihart
by way of White Sulphur Springs, that
it will traverse the Northern portion
of the Park to Cinnabar, thence to Liy-
ingston and up Shields river. In the
event of the needed legislation not be-
ing secured making the Yellowstone
river the northern boundary Of the
Park, then the Northwestern will be
obliged to find an outlet from Cooke to
the east of us. But by the time this
company can reach Cooke, it is more
than likely that there will then be no
barrier to its traversing the natural
course of the Yellowstone through the
Park to Cinnabar, because the opening
OF the northern portion of the Park is
only question of short time, and the
Northwestern is as anxious to secue a
slice of the tourist travel as it is to get
to handle the large freight traffic the
Clarkes Forke mines will supply.

# seems as though the "Yea, yea
and NAY. nay OF Scripture shoul"
teach us lesson Of brief, plain speecn
which might save us many OF Inc
trials and mortif,ations that fall tc
our LOT, But comparatively few seem
to nroft by the lesson. Perhaps ma
ture. more than either conscience OF
painstaking, is responsible Tor even
those few. Some people find it easy
and natural to express themselves
clearly. To others it is task we'll
nigh impossible; but by everybody II
can be more or less completely mas
tered, and the advantages arcrulnS
from such mastery are very greaS'
Probably everybody looks PACK to
his vouth. and, remembering the mis-
takes and follies of that period, won
ders that more warnings were no'
given to him and explanations made
t. to him of the trials that he must in
evitably meet. How many mothers
warn their girls in clear and unmls,
taxable language of the minor ana
even the great temptations that they
will probably encounterP Is not wha'-
ever warning of this kind that is given
conveyed generally by vague looks
and hints, which are absolutely mean
inoless, unless 10 make the recipient
feel mysteriously uncomfor;ableP oh,
this incapacity or unwiIlingness OF
mothers and fathers to say what
should be said to their children! 1t
has been the ruin of countless millions
and the shame and embarrassment
of millions more.
The training of men in active busi-
ness usually makes them, if not more
fluent, at least more capable of saying
what they mean than does the quietcr
life of women. One reason why
women suffer so much from chronic
nervous diseases is, not because they
are inherently more nervous" than
men. but because they find it so diff
cult to express to others ways in
which help can be rendered them.
How many times have you heard a
woman say, when expostulated with
for overwork: "Oh, it is so much
easier to do it myself than to tell any
body else how to do itf' How
many teachers fail, not because they
do not know enough, but because they
can not impart what they know, and
explain the hard things to their pupils!
The training our women are getting
in the new schools and colleges, which
scatter the benefits of education so
much more widely than ever before
among them, is going to add ia
measurably to the advancement of the
race, if it will only teach women to
say what they want to say, and know
what they ought to say, in terms
which make their meaning clear az
once. Yet clearness is not all, Pope
says:
'Tis not enough your counsel still be true,
Blunt truths more mischief than nice
falsehoods do.
We should learn to use the choicest
tern sand then we should use them;
and If we see truth which has made
our own path smoother, we should
utter it plainly and at timely mo-
ment. for the benefit of those about us
who may be helped by it-our chill
dren, our friends. or even the public
outside. whose lives are full of the
same pitfalls as our own, and who
need the same balms and remedies. -
